Trump: We were stupid to give Greenland back to Denmark after the war. And how ungrateful they are for that now.

Also: Greenland is part of the North American frontier. It’s our territory.

(This isn’t going well.)

Or they've got noise cancelling earbuds in and are listening to their favorite tunes...

Me, I'm starting to wonder if mush and troll, the movie villains from South Afrikkka, managed to convince *Rump to get a Neurolink chip and port (along with a few other medical augmentations), put in his brain back when he was getting all those MRIs,, and he's now being "supported" with AI. Sort of a Billionaire science project.

Denmark has owned Greenland uninterrupted for 300 years. The US didn't even exist 300 years ago and we never owned Greenland. We did buy the Danish West Indies in 1917, which rather ironically included Epstein's Pedo Island.

How embarrassing, now the world can see what we have to live through. They should get up and leave.

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."
